Whereas Tetley has gone beyond that and brought Saurav Ganguly to address men also. It targets 18-35 years age bracket that are health conscious to the extent of tweaking their lifestyle and making small changes to it, unlike 'health freaks' who're willing to go to extreme. Both have thought of best diplomats i.e. HUL, first Anushka Sharma and fterward Shraddha kappor; an occurrence of TATA first Kareena Kapoor and now Saurav Ganguly.
